Willing Thomas

Thomas Haden Church has joined the indie drama "Don McKay" reports Variety.

The plot focuses on a man haunted by a tragedy that forced him to flee his hometown 25 years earlier. When he returns he soon discovers that his long-lost love is dying -- and then gets caught in a web of confusion, deceit and murder.

Jake Goldberger is directing from his own script.

Considering the picture has a budget of only 5 million getting Church or anyone else for the flick indicates the script must be pretty dang good.

Shooting began last week west of Boston.
